Ticket to Ride: Rails and Sails to arrive in September

Esdevium has dated the latest installment in Days of Wonder’s famous train game series, Ticket to Ride: Rails and Sails.

The new standalone game will launch in September and includes a massive double-sided board - bigger than any other Ticket to Ride board that currently exists - featuring the World map on one side and the Great Lakes of North America on the other.

Ticket to Ride: Rails & Sails offers two to five players the chance to take to the seas with the introduction of Ships, in addition to the classic Train cards. The new Ship routes will enable players to build harbours and chart a course across the oceans of the world.

Ticket to Ride: Rails and Sails takes approximately 90 to 120 minutes to play and is expected to be available at GenCon in August, before its worldwide release in early September.

Running from July 9 to 18, the board game company is offering the chance to win a trip for two to New York, including four nights in a four star hotel. To participate, simply visit the Days of Wonder Facebook page.
